A second Tufted Titmouse found when going thru some older files that seemed to be a contrast from the 'Tufted' post a week or so ago. Shot from blind 75% of full frame.

Great perch which adds some colors - real nice pose and sharpness as well

I agree, nice perch and pose. Sharp. Thanks for sharing and showing it can be done.

Good head-to-tail sharpness, Mike. ...and I'll third the motion about the colorful perch.

I really like the head turn you managed in this one Mike. I also like the separation of the head from the tree trunk. Nice work on this. My one question is about the BG. About 75% of it looks gray and the rest white. Did you selectively adjust the exposure perhaps causing the grayish look of the BG?

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to comment on this image.
Kurt,
The BG is a snow covered hillside at the tree line, the sunlight was coming thru the trees and the shadows created the gray areas.
